Problem Solved

Hello,

I don't know if you still have this problem with the Overdrive Media Console, but I found a way to fix it. I ran across this fix while troubleshooting a different problem that turned out to be the same cause. It turns out that some of the registry keys can be created in Vista without correct permissions granted to the Administrators group and System account. I found a procedure on Aaron Stebner's WebLog to reset the permissions on the entire registry.

OMC started working immediately after I rebooted and I can now download and play audiobooks.

I'm running 32 bit Vista and it worked fine but there seems to be some discussion around using this utility for 64 bit systems.

Good Luck.
